Bhallaladeva role in 'Baahubali' turned out to be once in a life time opportunity for young hero Rana. He enthralled the audience to the core in this antagonist role and got acclaimed by the critics and audiences for his terrific performance. It's not an exaggeration saying that he is the show stealer of the movie.
All the lead stars of 'Baahubali' will reprise the same roles in 'Baahubali 2' as they have done them for 'Baahubali'. Rana will also be seen as Bhallaladeva. However, his character in the movie demands a wife character to be played by a top actress.
With the available reports, the makers are keen on roping in a heroine for Rana from other industries such as Bollywood or Kollywood. For now, nothing has been finalized and the details of the star cast to be included in the movie will be known soon. Meanwhile, 'Baahubali 2' is going on sets from December 14. This Rajamouli's directorial venture is being produced by Arka Media Works.
